Bessie hesitated. She hated and mistrusted
the man, as she had good reason to do, and
feared to trust herself alone with him.
While she hesitated the two Beers under

At first Bessie was utterly Frustrated by

went on she revived a little, for hers was q

more, with Frank Muller at their head on
his black horse, and Hans Coetzee, and the
wizard with one eye with him. I was hiding
behind q tree at the end Of the avenue, and I
saw them coming over the rise. They are
going to take the place" and, without waiting
to give any further explanations, he slipped
through the house and hid himself up some
where at the back out Of the way, for Jantje,
like most Hottentots, was a sad coward.
Tue old man stopped rubbing his head and
stared at Bessie, who was standing pale and
trembling in the doorway. Just then be
heard the patter of running feet on the drive
outside, and looked out Of the window. It
was caused by the passing of some half dozen
Kaffrs who were working on the place, and
who, on catching tsight of the Beers, had
promptly thrown down their tools and were
flying to the bills. Even as they passed a
shot was fired somewhere from the direction
OF the avenue, and the last of the Kafirs, q
lad of about twelve, suddenly threw up his
hands and pitched forward on his face, with
q bullet betweenshis sh~ou!derblades.

SHOWER OF BUGS.
A Remarkable Phenomenon at St
Paul, MINI.
Sidewalks Covered Foot Deep with tho
Strange visitants.

ST. PAUL, MINI, July 14.-St. Paul was
last night treated to phenomenon in the
form OF clouds Of what are variously call
ed Green Bay, Sunday and day bugs.
About 1Oo'clock a breeze sprang up from
the South. and with 1t came countless
millions Of bugs, which swarmed at every
light, t,oftcn becoming so thick around many
street lamps as to almost
obscure the light. Around the cleo
trio light masts they seemed to con.
gregate in greater numbers than else.
where, and In the vicinity of Bridge
Square, Seven Corners and at the park, at
the head of Third street, the streets werc
literally covered with the pests. Along
the Wabash street side of the Second Ma
tional Bank the sidewalk was covered to
depth of over foot; around the market
house, at whatever point an electric light
was located, the sidewalk was covered
with them. The Merchants Hotel received
a liberal share of the bugs, the steps lead
ms to the veranda being completely hid
from sight, and it Is estimated that more
than wagon load of the bugs could have
been taken from in front of the building,
In Rice Park was witnessed curious
sight. The trees near electric lights were
covered with bugs, giving the trees the
appearance Of being moving masses Of
life, while the electric light wires were
strung with the insects. 1t is probable
that after striking the wire they were
unable to get away on account of the cur
rent. AT 2 o'clock this morning the streets
in the vicinity of Bridge Square, which
had been cleaned were again covered
with them, and they still continued to
come

Slain bv Field Rats.

DETROIT, MICH, July 13.-The remains OF
human being, wholly unrccognizable,
were found last Sunday on the road be-
tween Pere Cheney and Fletcher. While
an inquest was being held, a young man
named Davis, who had been drawn by
curiosity to pay second visit to the spot
where the corpse was found, dashed
among the jurors with badly tattered
clothing, bloody club and a solution Of
the mystery. The unknown man had been
killed by field rats. The young man had
himself been attacked by them, and had to
fight for his life. When he approached the
spot, he said, the vicious creatures sprang
upon him from all sides, and, although he
killed many of them, it seemed only to
whet the courage of the survivors. He
was obliged to make a run for it, and had
been followed almost to the inquest, some
OF his assailants clinging to him and Bit
ing him cruelty.

RAILWAY HORROR.

CanadIan Excursion Train Crashes Into IN
oil Train-NInc Dead Bodies Recovered
Burned to "a Crisp.
ST. THOMAS, ONT, July ia terrible
accident occurred at the crossing Of the
Grand Trunk and the Michigan Central
railways, in this city, about o'clock this
evening. An excursion train on the Grand
Trunk from Port Stanley, ran into pass
ing freight train on the Michigan Central,
made up of a number of cars laden with oil.
The engine crashed into one of these cars
when the oil instantly took fire and burn
ed with great ferccness, communicating
to the cars on both trains and extending to
Griffin's warehouse, coal and lime sheds
adjoining the track on the west, and John
CampbelPs dwelling on the east, all OF
which were burned to the ground with
their contents. Engineer Donnelly, of the
excursion train, was buried in the wreck.
His fireman jumped and escaped
with slight injuries. The forward
car Of the excursion train was filled with
passengers, who made frantic efforts to
escape, but notwithstanding hundreds of
brave and willing hands were Immediately
at work to assist in their rescue, num-
ber OF lives have been lost, and will be
burned beyond recognition before their
bodies can be got out of the wreck. At 8
o'clock, when thousands of people were
crowding around the burning pile, one of
the oil tanks on the cars suddenly explod-
ed, throwing hundreds to the ground with
great force, and scattering fire in all direc-
tions, and severely, perhaps fatally, IN
juring many. At $50 o'clock nine bodies
were taken out. They were burned to

Exciting Runaway.

TIrrIN, O., July 15.-Just as Miss Anna
Kirchner, who had driven to town, was
about to hitch her horse the animal kicked
her, injuring her severely. The horse
then dashed up crowded street, over
turning the buggy and wrecking it, and
starting several other teams to run It
then took to the sidewalk, which
was crowded, and ran for four
squares on it. Eli Knillie received
what is thought fatal injuries. While the
horse was running up Jefferson street
girl became paralyzed with fear, and,
being unable 10 move out of the way, fell
fiat on the sidewalk in front of the horse.
Tho animal jumped completely over her,
however, and she was not injured, and
soon recovered from her fright. A small
